Description
Previously, the focus of gender in science, in terms of the STEM fields, was mainly on numbers and the problem of underrepresentation of women in these disciplines. While this continues to be of great importance, issues of the content of the disciplines and the gendered culture of science are gaining more interest. The presentation addresses the some of the questions in the gender and science debate and the complexity surrounding the issue, based on European projects that the University of Iceland has participated in.
